True!

And the problem with ivermectin is that it is extremely cheap as well as very effective.

Similar for HCQ.

Our government is a mafia which is killing large numbers of people for profit.

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Fatally Shot in Manhattan

Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot on Wednesday morning in a targeted attack outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel.
Thompson was in Manhattan for UnitedHealthcare’s 2024 investor conference when he was killed.
The New York Police Department reported that the suspect fled the scene and remains at large; no arrests have been made.

There are 50 million suspects, the customers of UnitedHealthcare.

I was watching an interview of Eric Bethel on YouTube. He was saying that in China, there is no moral code. We are probably better than China as people but man a health system that exploits its children because its legal is not the nicest.

Remind me how did you react to mayor of NY banning oversized drink cups at fast food places some years ago. Did you, like other principled conservatives on this site, scream "you can pry that XL soda drink from my cold dead hands, you fucking Commie cunt!"? 🤡

Obligatory:

We do not yet know the motive for the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. But it would not surprise me if the killer stalked Thompson because UnitedHealthcare had denied medical coverage, or forced a family or an individual into bankruptcy, after the company failed to cover a serious illness. Insurers reject about 1 in 7 claims for treatment, often by deciding the treatment is not “medically necessary.”

Among 10 high-income nations, the United States spends the most on health care but has the worst health outcomes. Americans die four years earlier than their counterparts in other industrialized nations.

There are more than 200 million Americans who rely on private health insurance, but once they become seriously ill, they are often tossed aside, left with crippling medical bills and unable to receive adequate treatment. Exorbitant medical bills account for about 40 percent bankruptcies. Many of those driven into bankruptcy because of medical bills had medical insurance.

The revenue of six largest insurers -- Anthem, Centene, Cigna, AVS/Aetna, Humana and UnitedHealth -- have more than quadrupled from 2010 to $1.1 trillion. Combined revenues of the 3 biggest -- United, CVS/Aetna and Cigna -- have quintupled.

These corporations, in moral terms, are legally permitted to hold sick children hostage while their parents bankrupt themselves to save their sons or daughters. That many die, at the very least premature deaths, because of these policies is indisputable.

Nothing absolves the killer of Thompson, but nothing absolves those who run for-profit health care corporations that embrace a business model that destroys and terminates lives in the name of profit.

That's exactly what UH did to me for jaw surgery I needed to correct for a birth defect.

Kaiser ended up doing it. $83k procedure + meds, ice packs and other supplies. My payment: $1,200.

Kaiser can be bureaucratic, yes. But once you learn the system, it's actually pretty good.

No one is forced into BK. Unfortunately people of lighter skin don't understand this. This is where blacks excel. And so do lawyers looking to get fees.

You don't pay it. Goes to collections. They cannot garnish wages. It goes away literally. Yes you get a credit ding. Even a $100k bill they'll settle for $500 if you even care. You can't go to jail for it.

Never spend more than you can afford of course. But medical, you don't have to pay and it's just a credit ding. Trust me, they'll still take your monthly premium. That's all they want. It's all scare tactics. I'm in dispute medically for my on the job seizure. I really said fuck you and figure it out with my employer, I'm not paying a dime since it happened on the job and I'm not talking to you. Year later, crickets. Nothing they can do.

And I get not everyone can do what I'm doing, but you don't have to file BK. Their only recourse is reporting it to the credit agencies and having a collector call you 3 times a day. My credit score is above average to good. I have $100k in credit card limits all paid off. I have no need for having a top notch credit score for the foreseeable future. Like 20 years when I want a retirement home in the Caribbean which will be a cash payment. I got to the top of the credit mountain and give no shits anymore.

Insurers are noticing fraud.

OR:
A hit made to look that way. Sorta how the Seth Rich murder was made to look like a robbery.

It's administrators that are sold drugs and the docs are told what to prescribe. Having had a seizure all they did was give me anti-anxiety meds. Put me to sleep 12 hours a day. Wake up and I got nothing done and had MORE anxiety. They don't know what the fuck they're doing.

First time in about 20 years I gave docs a chance since my gall bladder failure. They failed again. ER docs are good by me though. It's not long term treatment. It's today treatment.

I've had the same experience - trauma doctors are competent, but it's everyone else that are corporate-controlled fucktards.

It sucks living today in that you have to monitor and double check EVERYTHING - the food you eat, what your sawbones sez you should do, schools, etc.

Doctors, if they don't have their own independent practice, are shit, period. They are forced to follow a script, and if you don't agree, they tell you lies and try to scare you.

Doctors hate me because I always ask "Why should I do this?" Instead of explaining, they threaten me. I'm just being an asshole to assholes.
